Sigiriya

Rising dramatically above the surrounding plains, Sigiriya is a 200-meter-high rock fortress built in the 5th century. Its upper terraces are adorned with vivid frescoes and stone carvings, while the landscaped gardens below demonstrate advanced engineering and aesthetic vision. Climbing to the summit rewards visitors with sweeping views of the island’s heartland and a sense of connection to the ancient past. Sigiriya is a masterpiece of architecture, art, and history all in one.
